    I've taken four so far and have signed up for six more. All but one are closed captioned. Their closed captioning is the best I have ever seen. Not all the classes are closed captioned, but I understand they are working on that. The one class does not have it, but once it does get it, it will be on the next time I pull it up. I avoid paying the full price and watch for the specials. They are great...you can take them over and over whenever you want.

    I have taken several and really liked most of them. I have noticed that some of the instructors can be rather long winded and take too long to explain some things and I think sometimes they spend too much time talking about themselves. JMHO

    Yes, I have taken both quilting and knitting classes and have been very pleased. I love being able to go back and double check something that you are unsure of. Always wait for the sale.

    I enjoy them. Sign up for the newsletter. They will let you know when classes are on sale. I have not paid full price yet. Do a free one first to see if you have any viewing problems.

    There is another way to get a major discount on these classes. If you go to the Instructors websites, some of them have a link back to Craftsy with a discount. Last time I looked, Leah Day had a 50 percent discount if you go through her website to get to Craftsy.

There are some free classes if you want to try it out. They often have sales, so unless you have to have a particular class right away, no need to pay full price.
    I love craftsy.

    I know how much it cost to take a one day class from a well known instructor. I don't hesitate to buy a class from Craftsy when a new one is available.
